Is there a free alternative to Kit?
Yes: Brevo Free, EmailOctopus Free, Kit Free and 1 more. Every tool on this page is either open source or genuinely free to use long-term: no trials, no crippled tiers.
Should I just build my own Kit?
Our verdict is PARCIAL. Una lista y un broadcast sí. La reputación de envío y los automations de creador no. If you'd rather build, the exact one-shot prompt is free at puedovibecodearlo.app/kit.
